Chapitre 11: Chapter 11: Making trouble? Since when did the Ye family need protection_1
Ye Jinhai was nervous - this would be his first real fight.
However, as the battle truly began, Ye Jinhai found himself more and more relaxed.
His Gentle Wind Sword unleashed a Clear Wind through Chink, thrusting viciously towards the large man's lower body.
The man hurriedly moved to deflect with his blade, but Ye Jinhai had already withdrawn his sword and launched another attack.
Gentle breeze brushing across the face!
This move was supposed to be a swift strike meant to behead the enemy!
However, in Ye Jinhai's hands, the attack was aimed lower.
One thrust!
Then another!
The full Gentle Wind Sword technique, in Ye Jinhai's hands, had been reduced to just a singular thrusting maneuver.
It wasn't that Ye Jinhai didn't know the other techniques, he just found this single move particularly effective.
Inside him, something nameless stirred awake.
As Ye Jintian observed his younger brother's fighting methods, he could not help but feel a cold shiver run down his spine.
Could his own brother be a pervert?! Gravitating towards such unspeakable tactics with an otherwise normal sword technique!
"I cannot spar with him anymore. This is terrifying."
Vowing to spare Jia Lu future widowhood, Ye Jintian decided he would never spar with his younger brother again.
The tide of the fight began to turn in Ye Jinhai's favor. The large man was reduced to only being able to defend.
To persistently defend would inevitably lead to defeat. He wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
...
"Master, something's gone wrong! The Young Master is fighting someone outside."
A servant rushed to Ye Fan, recounting the events unfolding outside.
Ye Fan's face turned cold. Today was a joyous day for the Ye family and yet someone dared to cause trouble.
With a sweep of his sleeve, Ye Fan headed towards the front door.
Watching Ye Fan stride away, Su Yan took a moment to gather her thoughts, picked up a long blade from the house, and followed Ye Fan.
...
On the main street, the battle was nearing its conclusion. Ye Jinhai thrust his sword again.
The big man had left himself wide open and was on the brink of being impaled.
Suddenly, a dart flew towards them.
At the critical moment, Ye Jinhai somersaulted, narrowly avoiding the throwing weapon.
Looking at the direction of the thrown weapon, Ye Jinhai broke out in a cold sweat.
If he hadn't been quick to react, that dart would have left him seriously wounded, if not dead.
The near-death experience startled Ye Jinhai, and seeing his advantage, the man on the other side moved.
With one heavy swipe of his blade, he aimed for Ye Jinhai.
Reacting quickly, Ye Jinhai barely managed to bring up his longsword to protect himself.
Yet he was nonetheless sent flying by the blow and ended up looking rather pale.
"Ha ha ha, let's go again!"
Seeing Ye Jinhai wounded invigorated the large man.
The others who had come with the large man began to close in.
"If you're going to skulk in the shadows like a rat, why not come out into the open."
Ye Jintian stepped off his horse, moving to support Ye Jinhai and spoke towards the direction of where the weapon had been thrown from.
"Since you wish to meet, let's give you a show. That way, you will also know whose hands you will meet your end in."
Two figures emerged from the end of the alley.
Upon seeing these figures, the expressions on the faces of the Jia family members changed noticeably.
"Liu Xingsheng, Liu Li, what are you up to?" Recognizing them, Jia Duoduo spoke sternly.
"Jia Duoduo, since your Jia family doesn't appreciate favors, today, no one will be getting married." Liu Li replied with a self-satisfied grin.
He had been fancying Jia Lu for a long time. Now was his chance to humiliate both parties, he could not be happier.
At this moment, the onlooking spectators began to understand the situation.
It was rumored that Liu's Family had proposed marriage several times, wishing to marry Jia's Clan Miss Jia Lu.
However, back then, since neither family made a statement, everyone thought it was just a rumor.
Now it seemed that this rumor was not necessarily untrue.
Many people looked at Ye Jintian with a trace of pity in their eyes.
The Ye Family was well-known in Changhe Town, and many men had been loyal customers of the Ye's.
However, in face of the Liu Family, nobody had faith in the capabilities of the Ye Family.
Ye Family was well-known for their medicinal skills, while Liu Family relied on their powerful martial prowess.
Liu Xingsheng, the head of the Liu Family, was a master of the eighth layer body refining, and was a truly top-tier figure in Changhe Town, second only to a few masters of the ninth layer body refining.
Now that the Ye Family was targeted by the Liu Family, what could possibly end well.
Apart from the ordinary onlookers, many other clansmen were also in deep thought.
Would Duobao Pavilion just stand by and let the Liu Family harm the Ye Family?
If Duobao Pavilion did not intervene, would they have a chance to take a bite of the succulent profits of Ye Family.
According to their investigations, the minimal monthly profit of Ye's Pharmacy was two hundred and fifty silver, and they had the prescription for Five Complete Powder, a medicine with untold potential.
Who wouldn't want a bite of such a juicy piece?
If Duobao Pavilion did not protect Ye's Pharmacy, then the Ye Family would definitely be divided by numerous martial artist families.
In a few strides, Liu Xingsheng strode up to Ye Jintian, sizing him up.
Since Liu Xingsheng dared to make a move today, he must have investigated the Ye Family beforehand.
In his opinion, the Ye Family's confidence lay in Ye Fan being a Guest Elder at Duobao Pavilion.
This was also what Liu Xingsheng was wary of.
But after the investigation, Liu Xingsheng found out that Ye Fan's Guest Elder status was assigned by Li Qian himself and was not officially recognized in Duobao Pavilion.
Those in the middle stage of body refining needed to give face to Li Qian, but as a top-tier strongman in Changhe Town in the later stage of body refining, Li Qian without Duobao Pavilion didn't count for much.
Having seen through Ye Family's so-called ace in the hole, Liu Xingsheng felt it was time to make a move.
No, correction. He absolutely has to make a move.
He planned to use the Jia Family as an excuse to swallow up the whole Ye Family before anyone else had the time to react.
By that time, even if other clans did react, the benefits that Liu Family could gain would be the greatest.
"Ye boy, you think that being a Guest Elder of Duobao Pavilion can protect your Ye family?"
Liu Xingsheng's words left Ye Jintian dumbfounded.
When did their Ye Family ever say they relied on the protection of Duobao Pavilion? Hasn't their Ye Family always relied on brute force?
Seeing Ye Jintian's reaction, Liu Xingsheng thought the Ye Family was scared: "Give you a chance, break off the engagement, hand over Ye Family's medicine recipes to me, I can still spare your lives."
"Father, this youngster..." Seeing that Liu Xingsheng was about to let Ye Jintian off, Liu Li suddenly became unwilling.
"Enough, this is not your place to talk."
Liu Xingsheng was more than aware that the talents of Ye Jintian and Ye Jinhai posed a potential threat in the future for Liu Family.
So what if they did, it was only in order to prevent desperation from the Ye Family leading to total destruction.
Once he obtained what he wanted, the life and death of the Ye Family was solely his to decide upon.
In Dayu country, it was forbidden to kill publicly, but who could find evidence in private? The law was nothing more than a fig leaf.
Even the current upper management of Dayu Country had their own problems to deal with, who had the time to supervise lower-level matters.
"Family Head Liu it seems that you feel rather confident. May I know who gave you the courage to underestimate my Ye Family."
Ye Jintian knew today would not end peacefully.
If it had to come to blows, then let it be.
The Ye Family was not composed of cowards.
"Family Head Liu, on the joyous occasion of my son's marriage, could you kindly afford us some face and leave the matter for another day!"
Just as Ye Jintian was preparing to fight, a hearty voice rang out that was heard by all present.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Ye Fan, dressed in a bright red festive gown, exuding a refined elegance.
